Zimbabwe Botswana
12 days / 9 nights
Between June and October
CHOBE RIVER
Arrival in Kasane before boarding your houseboat.
Two-night stay aboard a boat of real character, on the Chobe River.
This small family of three boats, each with only 4 or 5 cabins, is a genuine favourite of ours. The cabins are tastefully decorated, well equipped, and each benefits from superb views through a large glass bay window.
Ideal for relaxing in idyllic surroundings, cruising at sunset with a drink in hand, then ending the evening over a good meal, chatting with the owners, who are often on board and give guests a particularly warm welcome.
Onboard, attentive, warm and efficient staff contribute fully to your wellbeing.
The cruise unfolds in complete harmony, with safaris carried out aboard small motorboats.

VICTORIA FALLS
Two-night stay at Victoria Falls, where you can take your time admiring the grandeur of the falls.
This will also be the chance to take part in a number of optional activities: a helicopter flight over the falls, white-water rafting, or a safari in the national park…
We suggest staying at a beautiful lodge within Victoria Falls National Park, about a fifteen-minute drive from the falls.
LAKE KARIBA
You will head to Victoria Falls airfield to take a light aircraft to Lake Kariba, in north-eastern Zimbabwe.
An artificial lake created in the early 1960s following the construction of the Kariba Dam, the lake and Matusadona National Park are a haven for wildlife. Operation Noah, carried out before the valley was flooded, saved thousands of animals from drowning.
For three days, you will stay at a lodge on the shores of Lake Kariba.
Safaris on foot, by small flat-bottomed boat, and by 4×4.
Truly remarkable experiences await.

MANA POOLS
A light aircraft will take you to Mana Pools National Park, a little further east, on the banks of the Zambezi River, which marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Mana Pools is one of the most authentic places in Southern Africa. Far from everything!
The atmosphere here is peaceful, and life unfolds to the rhythm of the Zambezi River.
Four-day, three-night stay at a magnificent tented camp.
You will have the opportunity to go on open 4×4 safaris, walking safaris to approach the animals up close, and canoe outings on the Zambezi.
After this exceptional stay, you will take a flight to Harare before your international flight back to Europe.
